Flavor Packed Easy Beef & Broccoli

This easy beef and broccoli stir-fry is the perfect dish to cook up for when you’re feeling like something simple but incredibly tasty.

You can eat this dish by itself, but I highly recommend cooking up some steamed rice to go with it. Alternatively, noodles also go amazing with this dish, something like soba noodles will be perfect. This stir-fry is pretty fast to cook up so if you’re cooking something like rice then you might want to get that cooking first.

If you don’t mind the easy beef & broccoli sauce being a bit runny, then you can leave out the cornstarch and water mix. Some people prefer this as it makes the dish a lot lighter while still maintaining those great flavors.

The leftovers are worth keeping so make sure you don’t throw them out. Just store in the fridge until required then heat in the microwave or over the stove. It should last for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator if stored correctly. Personally, I can’t recommend freezing this as the broccoli is likely to overcook and become mushy when you reheat it.

Instructions:

In a skillet pan over medium-high heat, quickly brown the meat. Once browned, put to the side.

In the same pan, add the sesame oil, onion, garlic, ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, beef stock and stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch and water until it becomes like a paste.

Stir the cornstarch paste into the sauce until well combined.

Add the broccoli florets and return the beef to the pan, cook until the broccoli is heated.

Serve & Enjoy

Cooking Tips:

You can use fresh or frozen broccoli however if you use frozen make sure you defrost it first otherwise it will add too much liquid and take forever to cook.

It’s easy to overcook the broccoli if it goes mushy and a dark color then the broccoli has been overcooked.

The brown sugar can be swapped out for honey if you would prefer to use a different sugar. You can also replace the beef stock with water, but you might need to increase the amount of salt to make up for the missing flavor.

You can use regular soy, but it may make the sauce a bit too salty. You can always try reducing the amount of normal soy to half and replacing the rest with beef stock or water.
